Bisons have not always lived in North America. They are relatively new comers. They belong to the Bovidae family, like domestic cattle and the wild buffalo of Africa and Asia. The oldest known bison fossils have been found in China and the Himalaya Foothills where an animal with all the essential features of the genus lived a million years ago. They evolved rapidly and spread over most of the northern hemisphere in Europe and Siberia. During one of the Ice Ages, the sea level dropped exposing a land bridge across the Bering Strait allowing the faunas of Asia and NorthAmerica to intermingle. Very early, the stepped bison moved eastward to the North American Continent.

It students are to succeed in tomorrow’s world, their education must encourage them to have the desire to keep learning throughout their lives.

The immune system serves three basic functions: to recognize foreign cells and attack them, to develop antibodies to recognize foreign invaders in the future, and to send white blood cells to the location of an injury to speed healing. Chronic stress can suppress the functioning of the immune system, so that just by being stressed for long periods of time, we can actually weaken our immune system and fall victim to an illness that we would normally fight off with ease.

Dinosaurs are generally believed to have been very large animals and it’s true that some of them were incredibly large. One dinosaur, believed to have been t he largest dinosaur ever, is called seismosaurus. Seismosaurus literally means “earth shaker”. This animal was between 100 and 120 feet long and weighed about 89 tons. To give you some idea of how big a seimosaurus was, let me tell you that an American football field is 300 feet long. Consider that the African elephant weighs between six and seven tons. This means that a seismosurus was about 13 t o 14 times heavier than anAfrican elephant. It’s not surprising that his name means “earth shaker.”
